A hauntingly luminous black-and-white photograph by Hiroshi Sugimoto, this gelatin silver print captures a movie theater's grand interior bathed in an ethereal, otherworldly glow. Using his signature long-exposure technique, Sugimoto allows the entirety of a film's projected light to collapse into a single, radiant white rectangle on the screen, dissolving narrative into pure light. The result is a meditative image that transforms an architectural space into a timeless vessel of memory and perception.
